Floods and more

A week ago we had 4 1/2" of rain in one day. It caused major damage to roads locally and up north in Aroostook county there was widespread flooding and damage. Trues Pond rose dramatically. My kayak had been left upside down and high and dry before the rain. Fortunately it was tied to a tree.



Even with the muddy water, kayaking was rewarding last Wednesday. This piece of driftwood looks like a bird's head to me.









The flowers in my front yard continue to bring great pleasure.













This beautiful red maple was seen at Ruffingham meadow.






The transplanted fiddleheads are coming up. I miss the huge beds I feasted on at my old house.








This is the view from my screen porch in early morning.







And this is just one of the incredible sunrises. Most mornings now I am rushing out to take a photo while barely awake.







It is so pretty here with more and more flowers every day.















A turtle that fled at my approach peeks out of hiding under water to see if I have left yet.





A brave turtle returns while I sit motionless and watch.












Paddling home and enjoying the view of my house hidden in the trees.
